Metso secured a EUR 16 million thickener modernization order in Chile on October 5, 2026, while analysts set an EUR 18.02 average target for Metso stock. The order will be booked in the Minerals segment's third-quarter 2026 orders received, making the mining-services pipeline the immediate market focus.

EUR 16 million enters third-quarter orders

According to Cision on October 5, 2026, Metso will modernize three high-rate thickeners at a customer site in Chile. The project adds new drives, mechanisms and a redesigned feed system intended to raise throughput, underflow density and water recovery.

The order matters because it combines equipment upgrades with lifecycle services, an area that is already supporting Metso's operating mix. The company said the contract is one of its largest thickener-modernization services orders, and its full value enters third-quarter 2026 Minerals orders.

Q2 orders rose 18 percent

Metso's second-quarter 2026 results provide the operating baseline for the new contract. In the earnings-call transcript, Yahoo Finance reports that group orders increased 18 percent year over year to EUR 1.462 billion, while adjusted EBITA rose from EUR 183 million to EUR 221 million and the adjusted EBITA margin reached 16.6 percent.

The comparison is substantial: adjusted EBITA increased EUR 38 million from the prior-year quarter, while operating cash flow rose to EUR 206 million from EUR 147 million. Minerals orders increased 21 percent organically to EUR 1.129 billion, and the segment's adjusted EBIT margin reached 18.3 percent in the second quarter of 2026.

October 22 brings the next report

According to MarketScreener on September 17, 2026, Metso will publish its interim report for January through September 2026 on October 22, 2026. The report will show whether the Chile order and other Minerals contracts are translating into third-quarter order intake and future revenue visibility.

Metso is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki, according to the October 5, 2026 company release. The further course of trading will be assessed alongside the October 22 results, with order conversion and Minerals profitability as the key operating measures.
